Reliable & Fun Dog Lover

Hi all! My name is Brenda, and I'm based in the Fairmount neighborhood. I adore dogs and cats and have been pet sitting on Rover for nearly a decade. I've also fostered both through AWLA NoVA and ACCT Philly, which has deepened my passion for helping animals find loving homes. I currently offer in-home pet sitting, so your pet can stay comfortable in their own space while you're away. I have experience with senior pets and those requiring daily medications. I pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and communicative — you can always expect photo updates and attentive care. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while their family is away!

Safety, trust & environment

In your home, I respect your dog’s space & boundaries. I also respect their feeding and walking schedules. I know some pets are either newly getting used to or relearning separation from their owners, so I find it is best to stick closely to their schedules so they remain unstressed and comfortable.

Brenda was so lovely! She met with me beforehand, asked great questions, checked in periodically and gave our dog Ziggy so much love (+ some extra love to our cat G, too). Highly reliable! Would love to book her again.

Brenda was great with my two pups! She’s easy to communicate with and provided regular updates and pics. I recommend Brenda to anyone needing a pet sitter!

Brenda always does an amazing job with our pup Cleo. She is so patient with her as our dog takes a bit to warm up to new people. Always send pics, and does long walks. She always leaves my house extremely clean as well. We will continue to use her!!

Brenda was amazing with Cleo! She is a bit scared of new people but Brenda was great with her and Cleo warmed up immediately. She sent tons of pics and updates and left the house clean. We would love to re book with her in the future.

Brenda provided amazing care for Sammy while we were away. This was a last minute booking and she was incredibly flexible with the meet and greet and with changes to our travel due to weather. She kept us updated and was overall super communicative. She treated our home with respect and went above and beyond in every way! We felt super comfortable leaving Sammy in her care since they seemed to hit it off so well during the meet and greet. We will definitely rebook in the event we need a sitter again!

Brenda was great! She cared for our pack recently, and they can be a handful! But Brenda managed their different routines, feeding habits etc with kindness and care. She also sent us photos and updates frequently, and she always responded promptly to all messages. Our dogs absolutely loved her!! We will definitely be contacting her again.

No preferences here! Big or small, I have always had a passion in understanding and caring for dogs of any age and breed. I’d love to know their daily routine, just so they are kept as comfortable as possible while you’re away!
